This problem examines possible biochemical explanations for variations of Mendel’s 9:3:3:1 ratio. Exceptwhere indicated, compounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 have different colors, as do mixtures of these compounds. Aand B are enzymes that catalyze the indicated steps ofthe pathway. Alleles A and B specify functional enzymes A and B, respectively; these are completelydominant to alleles a and b, which do not specify anyof the corresponding enzyme.

Two alleles at one locus produce three distinctphenotypes. Two alleles of two genes lead tofive distinct phenotypes. Two alleles of six geneslead to 13 distinct phenotypes. (These statementsassume that the alleles at any one locus arecodominant or incompletely dominant andthat each gene makes an equal contributionto the phenotype.)a. Derive a formula to express this relationship. (Letn equal the number of genes.)b. Each of the most extreme phenotypes for a traitdetermined by two alleles at one locus are foundin a proportion of 1/4 in the F2 generation. If twoalleles of two genes determine the trait, each extreme phenotype will be present in the F2 as 1/16of the population.In common wheat (Triticum aestivum),kernel color varies from red to white andthe genes controlling the color act additively,that is, alleles for each gene are incompletelydominant and each gene contributes equallyto the color. A true-breeding red variety iscrossed to a true-breeding white variety, and1/256 of the F2…
For Mendelian inheritance, the nuclear genotype (i.e., the allelesfound on chromosomes in the cell nucleus) directly influences anoffspring’s traits. In contrast, for non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, the offspring’s phenotype cannot be reliably predicted solelyfrom its genotype. For the following traits, what do you need toknow to predict the phenotypic outcome?A. Dwarfism due to a mutant Igf2 alleleB. Snail coiling directionC. Leber hereditary optic neuropathy
In a problem involving albinism (see Problem 4), which of Mendel’spostulates are demonstrated? Problem No. 4 Albinism in humans is inherited as a simple recessive trait.Determine the genotypes of the parents and offspring for thefollowing families. When two alternative genotypes are possible,list both.(a) Two parents without albinism have five children, four withoutalbinism and one with albinism.(b) A male without albinism and a female with albinism havesix children, all without albinism.
For all seven characters described in the data of Mendel allowed the F2 plants to self-fertilize. He found that whenF2 plants with recessive traits were crossed to each other, theyalways bred true. However, when F2 plants with dominant traitswere crossed, some bred true but others did not. A summary ofMendel’s results is shown to the right When considering the data in this table, keep in mind that theydescribe the characteristics of the F2 generation parents that haddisplayed a dominant phenotype. These data were deduced byanalyzing the outcome of the F3 generation. Based on Mendel’slaws, explain why the ratios were approximately 1:2
The Online Mendelian Inheritancein Man (OMIM) databaseis a catalog of human genesand human disorders that are inheritedin a Mendelian manner. Genetic disordersthat arise from major chromosomalaberrations, such as monosomyor trisomy(the loss of a chromosome orthe presence of a superfluous chromosome,respectively), are not included.The OMIM database, updated daily, is aversion of the book Mendelian Inheritancein Man, conceived and edited by Dr. VictorMcKusick of Johns Hopkins University,until he passed in 2008.The OMIM entries provide links to awealth of information, including DNAand protein sequences, chromosomalmaps, disease descriptions, and relevantscientific publications. In this exercise,you will explore OMIM to answer questionsabout the recessive human diseasesickle-cell anemia and other Mendelianinherited disorders.Exercise I – Sickle-Cell AnemiaIn this chapter, you were introduced torecessive and dominant human traits.You will now discover more about sicklecellanemia as an…
In Drosophila, the autosomal recessive dp allele ofthe dumpy gene produces short, curved wings, whilethe autosomal recessive allele bw of the brown genecauses brown eyes. In a testcross using femalesheterozygous for both of these genes, the followingresults were obtained:wild-type wings, wild-type eyes 178wild-type wings, brown eyes 185dumpy wings, wild-type eyes 172dumpy wings, brown eyes 181In a testcross using males heterozygous for both ofthese genes, a different set of results was obtained:wild-type wings, wild-type eyes 247dumpy wings, brown eyes 242a. What can you conclude from the first testcross?b. What can you conclude from the second testcross?c. How can you reconcile the data shown in parts (a)and (b)? Can you exploit the difference betweenthese two sets of data to devise a general test forsynteny in Drosophila?d. The genetic distance between dumpy and brown is91.5 m.u. How could this value be measured?
In 1995, doctors reported a Chinese family in whichretinitis pigmentosa (progressive degeneration of theretina leading to blindness) affected only males. Allsix sons of affected males were affected, but all of thefive daughters of affected males (and all of thechildren of these daughters) were unaffected.a. What is the likelihood that this form of retinitispigmentosa is due to an autosomal mutationshowing complete dominance?b. What other possibilities could explain the inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa in this family? Whichof these possibilities do you think is most likely?

Which of the following statements is true about the molecular basis of Mendel's second law? OThe random attachment of the sister chromatids and the split of them into different daughter cells during the second round of cell division in Meiosis ensure Mendel's second law of independent assortment of alleles. OThe random attachment of the sister chromatids and the split of them into different daughter cells during the first round of cell division in Meiosis ensure Mendel's 2nd law. O The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of sister chromatids during the second round of cell division in Meiosis. O The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of homologous chromosomes during the second round of cell division in Meiosis. O The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of homologous chromosomes during the first round of cell division in Meiosis.
The text outlines some of the problems Frederick William I encountered in his attempt to breed tall Potsdam Guards. a. Why were the results he obtained so different from those obtained by Mendel with short and tall pea plants? b. Why were most of the children shorter than their tall parents?
In onions, presence of gene C causes production of an enzyme which catalyzes theproduction of bulb-color pigment. Gene K prevents this enzyme from functioning, thuspreventing enzyme production. The two genes are inherited independently. A true breedingcolored variety is crossed with a white one of genotype ccKK. (a) what are the expectedphenotypes and ratios in the F1 and F2. (b) Another pair of alleles R and r, independent ofgenes C and K controls the specific color for bulbs, R giving red and r, yellow bulbs. If thetrue-breeding colored variety are homozygous for R and the white ones homozygous for r,what would be the phenotypic ratios in the F1 and F2 of the above cross?
The production of eye-color pigment in Drosophila requires the dominant allele A. The dominant allele P of asecond independent gene turns the pigment to purple,but its recessive allele leaves it red. A fly producing nopigment has white eyes. Two pure lines were crossedwith the following results:P red-eyed female white-eyed maleF1 purple-eyed femalesred-eyed malesF1 F1purple eyed 38red eyed 38white eyed 28F both males and females: 2Explain this mode of inheritance, and show the genotypesof the parents, the F1, and the F2.
